    Thanks @DizzyBlond and @Zelda. It is so hard to not get discouraged and think about every ache and pain. I am ready for normal! Pray you are both feeling well.

    @Zelda I have warned the family about the naps. I understand what you mean about walking. Luckily at work I sit and can stand for small strolls and stretching. I do need to accept the walking. I suggested Apple picking for this weekend and quickly realized I was in denial.

    @Zelda thanks! I have a sedentary job so Dr. thinks can handle it. They originally were going to release me at 4 weeks and I asked to wait.

    Interesting materials. Will be reading. I go back Tuesday after Labor Day so my first week back will be short. I would like to do phased but out of leave (so won't get paid if not working). I will definitely look to use some of the tips in the articles.

    @Chihuahuan Thank you. It is a roller coaster!!! I have been off pain meds since day 2 post-op. They make me sick so I used Tylenol. Now that I am done with blood thinners moving to aleve. Are you still working with a PT? Good luck at the Dr. Let me know what he says.

    Hi everyone. I am 6 weeks post-op and until about a week ago was doing great. I am still using a cane and have some high groin pain still.
